The 2024 MLB season has come to a close and there was no shortage of excitement en route to the Dodgers winning their eighth World Series. Bettors were drawn to sportsbooks in drives throughout the year and more than one record was set when it was all said and done. The 2024 World series was the most bet World Series in BetMGM history and eclipsed the second most bet World series from 2022 by 50%. BetMGM also experienced 11% year over year growth in MLB betting for the season. BetMGM was thrilled with the results.
The home run betting market played a major role in BetMGM’s success. BetMGM’s aggressive pricing contributed to 273% year over year growth in betting on home runs. The Bullpen Jackpot Promotion helped playoff home run betting increase by 418% year over year. Over/under home run wagers were the most bet prop and the two biggest sluggers in MLB were regularly featured on bet slips. Shohei Ohtani was the most bet player to hit a home run and he was trailed by Aaron Judge. It was fitting that both faced off on the biggest stage in baseball on the final stage.
“Overall, it was a very successful MLB season for BetMGM,” said BetMGM trading manager Halvor Egeland. “We couldn’t have picked a better matchup than Yankees-Dodgers in terms of interest, and this ended up being the most bet World Series in BetMGM history. The Dodgers winning the World Series was a great result for BetMGM since they opened up as favorites and never left the top spot. Early money for the 2025 World Series is on the Dodgers to repeat.”
